I have just received some new RAM which I bought on EBAY. I installed it this morning, only to find that it seems to have a problem. I removed all (3 sticks) of the old RAM, and installed the new RAM, 2 sticks. The new RAM is Infineon PC133 512 Mb each. The old RAM is Infineon PC133 256 Mb each (2 sticks), and a third of Kingston 256 Mb. The new RAM gave me a Beepcode error of 3 long beeps, Base 64 memory failure.
The motherboard involved is a Gigabyte 7ZXE 1.1, with an AMI BIOS.
As I see things, either the RAM is the wrong type, or the new RAM is DOA. Any other possibilities?
I forgot to test the new RAM sticks individually, so in fact only one may be a problem.
I'll attach a picture of two of the RAM sticks, one old (256 Mb), and one new (512 Mb).
